Will, When it's a fat hog and everyone know's it's a fat hog, what's a fraction of an ounce? I always say a good personality can make up for a lot of shortcomings

Well Busto, I guess we're on "the list".

My thoughts were they are rushing through the early Satin HOGB8's....We'll get the Fine Tuned Blemish Free ones Hang in there Tom...Semper Fi

 

[Private Klink]

Busto, I got mine TODAY!!! I hope you receive yours real soon.

 

[Stump Buster]

Man, I think I got a taste of what retirement is going to be like today.... I worked my A$$ off!!!! I'm on vacation and the "Honey-Do's" are only a fraction complete. Painted and re-organized my entire home office today aaaaand managed to tend to the lawn. Only break I got was when the Home Commander walked in with a box from Wauseon.

Didn't get much time to play with them today, but I have to take down at least 1 (maybe 2) trees tomorrow, so maybe the tan/tan one will get a little bit of a workout!!!

Here's the unboxing...

THANKS AGAIN BOSSMAN FOR MAKING THIS KNIFE A REALITY!!! WE ARE THERE YET, AND IT'S FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!

 

[Stump Buster]

THANK YOU AMY for hooking 'Ol Tom Up!!! YOU ROCK!!!!

 

[Busto]

Stump....Great Scores Win, Place, and Show The HOGB8 Trifecta!!!!

 

[Private Klink]

WOW Stumpy, that's quite a haul!!! I'm glad you received your order; I guess now Busto needs his. I hope he receives his REAL soon...like TODAY!

 

[Will York]

What a cool lineup. I can see using the tan-tan LC for a beater; that double cut version is almost safe-queen quality (ALMOST)!

Thanks for the pics and for your perseverance in getting these knives for us Stumpy—can hardly wait to get mine next week!

Now—back to work!!!

You’re up, Busto!!!

(BTW has anyone heard from our resident Viking?!?!)

 

[Busto]

Alas...no shipping notice yet...But it's all good patience is a virtue or so I've been led to believe

(You're right Will "Rag's" hasn't dropped in recently!?!) maybe he's bustin' some HOGB8 INFI in the Woods!!!!

 

[Private Klink]

I never received a shipping notice either; it just showed up. And I'm glad it did!!!

Little tree trimming chore on a flowering pear. It's no Battle Mistress but I did what I wanted to do. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was how well it stayed in my hand not wanting to leave it as some others have. The sweet spot was much closer to the choil than I imagined. Lopping shears would've been an eighth of the effort expelled. I've been beating on stuff since I got it and it wasn't the sharpest it could be by any stretch. Scrubbed it down with soapy water and a scotch pad as it had lots of stuff stuck to it, cleaned up nice.

I hear that. I was amazed how little my original B8 War Feather gives up to a machete on light brush. It’s so controlled and yet so snappy that the action feels effortless—very contained, very precise. I bet the addl weight behind the HOGB8 makes for a nice, compact “power stroke”.

(Really like that photo BTW!)

Yeah I was swinging with a strong grip, it steered pretty well and I'd loosen on the draw and it stayed in the hand excellent. I'll admit I've had a couple get away from me last year when I got my first ones. The biggest limb 3" or so, took a few whacks LOL! That pear was surprisingly stout Wearing through that dc finish is revealing some birthmarks too but super fine lines.
